ITEM 1    SECURITY AND ISSUER

     Item 1 is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:

     This statement on Schedule 13D (the "Statement") relates to the common
stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Little Switzerland,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and hereby amends the Schedule 13D
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on October 20, 1997. 
The address of the principal executive office of the Company is 161-B Crown Bay
Cruise Ship Port, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands 00802.

ITEM 2    IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

     The information previously provided in Item 2 remains unchanged.

ITEM 3    SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

     The information previously provided in Item 3 remains unchanged.

ITEM 4    PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

     Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph:

     "The Reporting Person made the sale in order to reduce his personal
investment in the Company."

ITEM 5    INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

     Item 5(a) is hereby amended to read as follows:

     "The Reporting Person currently owns 3,000 shares of Common Stock.  Based
upon there being 8,554,202 shares of Common Stock outstanding, the shares of
Common Stock owned by Mr. Hackel, beneficially and of record, represent less
than 1% of the Common Stock of the Company.

     Item 5(c) is hereby amended by adding the following:

     "Mr. Hackel sold 428,000 shares on March 12, 1998 at a price per share of
approximately $7.73, for an aggregate net sale price of $3,308,324.40."

     As Mr. Hackel's aggregate holdings of the Company are now below 5% of the
outstanding shares, he will file no further statements on Schedule 13D with
respect to these securities unless additional purchases of the Shares are made
and such purchases result in him holding more than 5%.

ITEM 6    INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

     The information previously provided in Item 6 remains unchanged.

ITEM 7    INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

     The information previously provided in Item 7 remains unchanged.


                              SIGNATURE

     After reasonable inquiry and to the best of their knowledge and belief, the
undersigned certify the information set forth in this Amendment is true,
complete and correct.

Dated:   July 14, 1998



                                        /s/ KENNETH S. HACKEL
